This query is : Resolved
I applied divorce case one year before( nov'2015) as my wife is not ready to stay with me and not satisfied with my financial status(am working on bpo only,earning less salary), so she left from me within 3 month of marriage life with her parents and relatives support. Then she was appeared in the court and agreed to give divorce,, and she didn't expect any money from me , had signed and given written file that mentioning I don't need any money and won't disturb in future..... meanwhile the judge got transferred.. still now there is no judge in family court....we were just getting the counter date. But suddenly last December, she has filled DV case on me nd my parents, mentioning as we were tortured her and asking 5 lacks money and 15k every month...she totally given false allegations on us in that case. I attended 3 counters but she didn't appear, only her lawyer appeared and asked the counter date. Suddenly last week I received a letter from district collector office and asked us to meet women protection officer for enquiries. We should need to go for that enquiry,???already it's pending in district court.
What will happen we don't go for that enquiry???
We need to pay any amount in there??
Can we request that officer to close that case in their end and can say we will attend the counter in district itself, already my lawyer has appearing in that court behalf of us??
Sorry to say I don't have money to give my lawyer for this petition, so I would like to attend this without my lawyer, I informed the same to him....i spent more than one lack for these 2 cases.
so anything that happens against me if go and attend without lawyer???
Please help me on this issue

it is in your interest to go for the counseling and submit your view point there lest the women cell will have no option but to refer the case for FUR against entire family and then keep running for getting bail

You can attend and apprise them of the factual situation. By the way, what is the opinion of your advocate?

Thanks Venu& sudhir,
May lawyer is asking 15K from me(for Vakkalathama)to close that enquiry procedure in women protection office in district collector office and proceed further in court itself(DV case s on trial). Otherwise he won't come with us & involve for this enquiry and saying that we(me,my parents) should need to go for enquiries whenever they r calling us fr enquiry.
I have given 45K for DV case itself till now(only 3 trial happened), for divorce case I spent 62K.
My lawyer says that however the situation may happen to pay some money to my wife in end of the judgement even if false was in my wife side, saying that you should need to give some settlement to wife if u live with her atleast one-day, thats the rules, rules r giving first priority to women only.... like that he s saying.
Please let me know what will be the procedure in women protection office?
Can I request them to close that in their end instead of my lawyer?
One call letter I received for enquiry but I didn't attend, how many call letter I will get again, is there any option to see case status in online like knowing other case status in court portal??
My lawyer isnot telling any detailed info about case procedure and overall fee amount for fixing each case that he s handling for me.
Please guide me how to handle this..
Thanks in advance.

No advocate is required for attending the Protection Office. Meet them and apprise them of the cases going on.

You will have to attend the Police inquiry failing which the Police could initiate action with the consent of concerned Magistrate. In DV cases all the actions of Police could be done only with the Consent of Court.Your Advocate could accompany you for Police inquiry
